Breaking Free from the Curse: Designating a Path to Success

As I sit here in the darkness, alone with my thoughts, I can't help but feel the weight of my curse pressing down on me. It is a burden I have carried for as long as I can remember, a curse that has shaped the very core of my being. People often say that everyone has their own struggles and challenges to face, and while that may be true, mine feels different. It feels like a heavy shroud that I can never escape, a constant reminder of the darkness within me. I have tried to understand why I have been cursed in this way, why I must carry this burden. But no answers have come to me, no explanation for the pain and suffering I endure.

Anyone who’s ever gone to summer camp and sat around a campfire telling scary stories at night should know about the Wendigo, a demonic creature appearing in the legends of the Algonquin peoples of the northern United States and Canada. Once again, I found it really neat the way Rick Yancey was able to work a well-known myth into the story, along with the documented yet controversial condition called Wendigo Psychosis, whose symptoms include an intense craving for human flesh.

Will Henry s relationship with the doctor is a veritable quagmire of volatile emotion and dynamics, and to me it s an incredible achievement on the author s part in the Show, don t tell department. Anyway, the same caveats I provided for the first book also apply for this one; some of the scenes in here are absolutely not appropriate for the faint of heart or younger readers, despite its YA designation.

But no answers have come to me, no explanation for the pain and suffering I endure. It is as if the universe has singled me out, designated me as the recipient of this curse. My curse is not something tangible, like a physical ailment or a financial hardship.

Works of the Law and the Curse of the Law (Galatians 3.10–14)*

The two most recent studies of Paul and the law both show a large measure of agreement in criticizing Paul's treatment of the law as inconsistent and self-contradictory. E. P. Sanders argues that Paul's ‘break’ with the law gave rise to different questions and problems, and that his ‘diverse answers, when set alongside one another, do not form a logical whole’. 1 So, in particular, Paul's ‘treatment of the law in chapter 2 (of Romans) cannot be harmonized with any of the diverse things which Paul says about the law elsewhere’; in Romans 2 ‘Paul goes beyond inconsistency or variety of argument and explanation to true self-contradiction’. 2 More thoroughgoing is H. Räisänen, who can see only one way to handle what Paul says: ‘contradictions and tensions have to be accepted as constant features of Paul's theology of the law’. 3 Again and again he finds himself driven to the conclusion that Paul contradicts himself. So, for example, with Rom 13. 8–10: ‘Paul seems here simply to have forgotten what he wrote in ch. 7 or in 10. 4’; ‘(Romans) 2.14–15,26–27 stand in flat contradiction to the main thesis of the section’; Paul puts forward ‘artificial and conflicting theories about the law’. 4 The artificiality and tension is evident not least in Gal 3. 10–12, where Räisänen finds the argument of 3. 10 to be at odds with the argument of 3. 11–12. 5

It is something deeper, something that infects my very soul. It is a curse of the mind, a darkness that twists my thoughts and poisons my perception of the world. In the light of day, I try to hide my curse, to put on a brave face and pretend that everything is normal. But deep down, I know the truth. I know that I am different, that I am marked by something sinister. The curse has isolated me from others, making it difficult to form connections and cultivate meaningful relationships. It has filled me with self-doubt and insecurities, constantly whispering in my ear that I am unworthy and unlovable. But I refuse to let the curse define me. I refuse to let it consume me entirely. Despite the darkness, I continue to strive for light. I seek out moments of joy and happiness, savoring them like precious treasures. I have come to realize that my curse is also my greatest strength. It has given me a unique perspective on the world, allowing me to empathize with others who carry their own burdens. It has made me resilient and tenacious, pushing me to fight against the darkness with every fiber of my being. So, while my curse may be a heavy burden to bear, it has also become a part of my identity. It has shaped me into the person I am today, and for that, I am grateful. I will continue to navigate the complexities of my curse, seeking solace in the moments of light and finding strength in the darkness..
